AHU cleaning in Weeley Heath, done properly
If the units serving a building in Weeley Heath have only had filter changes for years, the coils, fan and casing can be carrying far more dirt than anyone has seen. A full AHU clean takes in the whole unit. If you have dirty coils holding back the airflow and plant that has been serviced but not cleaned, we can help, from filter sections, internal panels and supply and extract fans onwards.
Work in a small place like Weeley Heath starts with agreeing access and timings, and the ventilation is inspected, cleaned and recorded the same as anywhere.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of AHU cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Do you do ventilation duct cleaning too?
Yes. We reach the ducts through access panels, with anything inaccessible recorded, with new panels fitted where needed.

Yes, a TR19® certificate and a photo report. It includes a recommended date for the next check.

Part by part
Rooftop and plant room units
Smaller units in ceiling voids are part of the work as well. The space underneath is protected with sheeting first.
Internal casing and panels
The inside walls and floor of the casing collect dust and debris. Each section is cleaned from the intake through to the outlet.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes half a day to a full day per unit, with large plant planned over several shifts. Visits to a village like Weeley Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the unit from photos or on site and agree what’s included.
- With your site team, the unit is switched off and isolated, then the area around it protected.
- Filters are dealt with as agreed, and the coils, fan and casing cleaned.
- Standing water and slime come out of the tray and the drain is checked.
- A TR19® certificate and photo report follow the clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
